Our attention was called the other

of Dame Nature in the person of Il
colured man, whose skin is gradually
timing white. The interesting sub

years old, and is intelligent and inter

countries across the seas Three years
ago, though his hands were white'
there were no signs of anything unus-
nal ON other parts OF his body, which
is now nearly half white and which
color is slowly but surely growing III

ance of the skin occurs IN irregular
spots over the face and body, and Mr..
Thomas says that in a few years he
has the expectation of being entirely
white. He experiences no sensation
from this wonderful change, and medl-
cal men who have taken cogniZince OF
the phenomenon are entirely at a loss

THE POULTERER.

In relation to failures in the care OF
fowls, the Dakota Farmer says:
When the poultryman has made his pre-
partitions and begun his operations, he is
often disappointed at not receiving a fair
return IN eggs for the attention and care be-
slowed The majority of failures arise
with those who have given the fowls all
they can eat, and, with liberal supply of
ground oyster shells, ground bone, gravel,
fresh water, and green food, no eggs re-
ward the persevering poultryman- The
cause of failure is that the hens are over
fed. 1t is always a mistake to keep food
before them, and, though a variety should
be given, care must be exercised not to
feed a full meal except at night. If the
food Is SO given that the hens viii not be
satisfied with the quantity they have re-
ceived they will hunt for more, and keep
busily at work. This avoids idleness and
prevents them from pulling feathers or be-
coming too fat. In the morning the soft
food may be given, but it is best not to
give quite enough rather than a full allow
ance. Then scatter a few grains in cut
straw, dirt, or litter, and let them get to
work scratching. at night give a full
meal. BY keeping the hens warm, busy,
and in moderate condition they will lay

drove them over the hills to White River,
which they reached Just as daylight broke
over the beautiful scenery of that lovely
stream.
Winding around the base Of tall, rocky
bluff that rested down close by the stream,
and travelling a short distance they came to
an opening in the cliff, into which they
drove the negroes, and, after securing and
feeding their horses, followed after The
cave was like hundreds of others in the
hills along that stream. The opening, al

The branches generally make an abrupt

long distances During the day the party
remained IN and about the cave, closely
watching the captives.
When night set in they were taken out

was easily forded, and travelled in Il

As the night waned and the party became

temerity TO try 1t.
In tins they were destined to be mistaken,
as we shall presently see.
After abusing the poor slaves and making
them prepare the common food they had
with them for the early morning meal, they
drove them into the hut and then threw
themselves upon the grass under the grove

LOST HIS ORGAN OF RECOGNITION

Mr.. Sportman bought canine of fancy

and beautiful silky tail. Yesterday morn

Do NOT make the mistake Of choosing
nothing but the largest fowls for sitters.
Medium sized hens are, as a rule, better
for this purpose, if they are not deficient
f, in feathers.
THERE is less danger of hens leaving
their eggs if they are always set IN the
evening. They are much more apt TO
"stock." Be very careful about disturbing
| them for the first two or three days.
MANY poultry raisers fall into the too
common error of using for breeding stock
ordinary or even poor fowls. Not one can
ever hope 10 produce anything but very or
binary or inferior stock from such a
method. Sc only the best for breeding.
The result Will be none too good then.
\ MAN having ears, nose, fingers, and
toes all frozen would not be expected, by
an ordinary community to continue his
usefulness for some considerable time.

Portable winter shelter for their fowls must
not except those that are badly frost
bitten to continue the laying process as if
nothing had happened.
TIE best month in the year for bringing
ont chickens in the Northern States is
April, and next, in point of desirabilitv,
come March and May. Very little should
be done in that line in June, and nothing
whatever during July. During the last
week in August, and from then on to the
Goth of September, a few chickens-pullets
for laying the next season during the time
when the other fowls are moulting- may
be raised with profit.
TOBACCO, in its raw state, or previous
to sweatening in bulk, is very powerful in
its effect, and will certainly drive vermin
from the hens nest. The whole leaves
may be thoroughly dried so as to crumble
easily, and put in the nest of the sitting
hen as lining under the eggs. With this
precaution she will not be driven from her
nest by vermin before the time of Matching
arrives. Tobacco is often enormously sup
posed to be difficult TO cultivate, but it is
really as easily raised rs corn or potatoes.
few plants only will give the poultorer
plenty of leaves for use in his fowl house.
